 /**
  * A file buffer manager (see
  * {@link org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.IFileBufferManager}uses a
  * <code>ISynchronizationContext</code> in order to execute commands
  * encapsulated as {@link java.lang.Runnable}. The synchronization context
  * executes the <code>Runnables</code> according to a specific
  * synchronization/execution policy. This could be that the given
  * <code>Runnable</code> is executed in a specific thread or environment or
  * adhere to specific timing constraints. The concrete characteristics of the
  * policy is to be specified by the context implementer.
  * <p>
  * This interface can be implemented by clients. Clients use
  * {@link org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.IFileBufferManager#setSynchronizationContext(ISynchronizationContext)}
  * to install a particular synchronization context with a file buffer manager.
